New Metrology Techniques for Advanced Thin-Film Optical Filters
The performance of advanced thin films as demonstrated by Alluxa’s thin films are challenging even the best metrology equipment and techniques. In this paper we have described a number of simple techniques, such as reference beam attenuation, placement of apertures in the sample beam, and appropriate use of spectral slit widths and scan speeds. These techniques, combined with knowledge of the theoretical filter performance, can greatly improve the accuracy of nearly all spectrophotometer...
UV Curing Adhesives Shine
UV curable adhesives are among the most user friendly adhesive products on the market today—if you know how to apply them. Master Bond’s new white paper takes a closer look at the capabilities of UV curable formulations, the requirements for an...
Super-resolution Microscopy
This article provides an overview of some of the key developments in super-resolution microscopy -- the art of enhancing the diffraction-limited resolution of an optical microscope.
Asphere Metrology: Options for Measuring Aspheric Lenses
This paper will outline the numerous metrology options for aspheres at Optimax, including how they work, any requirements, and what is specified with each method in an effort to help reasonably tolerance aspheres. Effects on the fabrication and cost...
Assembly Method Considerations for Cemented Assemblies
This paper will examine options in assembly methods of cemented lens assemblies, and techniques for communicating critical items will be presented. When cementing lenses together at Optimax, there are two main options for assembly methods, V-Block...
Considerations in Manufacturing Cemented Assemblies
This paper will examine options in construction of cemented lens assemblies, and considerations for mechanical mounting and cement selection will be offered.
How to measure optical filter spectra accurately
Optical filters play an important role in enabling applications such as fluorescence microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. In these applications there are two distinct types of beams: the illumination (or excitation) beam and the signal (or emission)...
